#SinghamReturns(Hindi) Rating: * * The sequel to #RohitShetty’s hit film, toplines #AjayDevgn with #KareenaKapoorKhan and rehashes the same old archaic drama in the guise of new-age. The action is typically ridiculous, the stunts miss out on realism, the narrative jerks around like a boat in troubled waters. Songs are forgettable and performances regrettable. Kareena’s sparkle is as out of place as a diamond in a haystack. To top it the film ,dedicated to the Mumbai Police, peddles fake sentiment. The catchy refrain from the first only makes it more untenable. There’s only so much grandstanding anyone can suffer through! #Reliance #UniversalPR #ParagDesai

#TheGiver( English) Rating:* * ½ Lois Lowry’s young-adult novel gets adapted for the big screen but since there isn’t much of a back story for this high-concept disturbia, and without the myth to validate it’s existence, feels very much like an experience in suspended animation. You just wonder what all the fuss was about? The long list of thespians enshrining this flick have little to do other than look stoic and expressionless! #TopEntertainment #SaileshPathak #MerylStreep #JeffBridges #KatyHolmes #TaylorSwift #PhillipNoyce #AlexanderSkarsgaard
